Magento 1.8 Layered Navigation – Custom Product Collection Not Getting Filtered

layered-navigationmagento-1.8

I had Overridden the product List.php Class & here is the code

protected function _getProductCollection()
{   
 if (is_null($this->_productCollection)) {

$result = array_unique($productIds);        

$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection');
$attributes = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes();
$collection->addAttributeToSelect($attributes);
$collection->addIdFilter($result);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($collection);

$this->_productCollection = $collection;
}

return $this->_productCollection;
}

working fine, I also had added Layered Navigation as mentioned here and layered navigation appeared as expected.

The only problem is, when I click on any filter in layered navigation, navigation gets updated and filter also get added to url, but product list won't get filtered by the selected filter. Please guide me how can I apply the filters on product collection

For layered Navigation you have to:

Extend

app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/Model/Layer.php

to your custom module.

And over ride prepare collection function:

public function prepareProductCollection($collection){
    if(Mage::helper('catalogsearch')->getQuery()->getQueryText())
        return parent::prepareProductCollection($collection);
    else{
        $collection
            ->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes());
            $collection->setStore(Mage::app()->getStore())
            ->addMinimalPrice()
            ->addFinalPrice()
            ->addTaxPercents()
            ->addStoreFilter()
            ->addUrlRewrite();

        Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($collection);
        Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($collection);
    }

    return $this;
}

Magento – Layered navigation filters for grouped products only

You need to rewrite how Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer builds the attribute collection using the current product collection's attribute sets:

protected function _getSetIds()
{
    $key = $this->getStateKey().'_SET_IDS';
    $setIds = $this->getAggregator()->getCacheData($key);

    if ($setIds === null) {
        $setIds = $this->getProductCollection()->getSetIds();
        $this->getAggregator()->saveCacheData($setIds, $key, $this->getStateTags());
    }

    return $setIds;
}

For this context, you'll want to check the product collection for grouped products and return the attribute set IDs of grouped children. These are then evaluated in getFilterableAttributes():

public function getFilterableAttributes()
{
    $setIds = $this->_getSetIds();
    if (!$setIds) {
        return array();
    }
    /** @var $collection Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Attribute_Collection */
    $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection');
    $collection
        ->setItemObjectClass('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
        ->setAttributeSetFilter($setIds)
        ->addStoreLabel(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
        ->setOrder('position', 'ASC');
    $collection = $this->_prepareAttributeCollection($collection);
    $collection->load();

    return $collection;
}

You will likely need to deal with the cache key. I would develop with block caching off and then test extensively with it on.

Magento – Magento 2 – Layered Navigation for Custom Product Collection

I've been trying to achieve the same thing for a long time. I would really like if someone like Amit Bera could help us with this because there are many questions about "how to get layered navigation with custom collection" and not many usefull answers. Maybe this will help you a little and if you do succeed please share your answer.

I was able to get product collection by using layerResolver like this:

Vendor/Module/Controller/Index/Index.php

    public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
    \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $pageFactory,
    \Magento\Catalog\Model\Layer\Resolver $layerResolver
) {
    $this->layerResolver = $layerResolver;
    $this->pageFactory = $pageFactory;
    $this->context = $context;
    parent::__construct($context);
}

public function execute()
{        
    $date = new \Zend_Date();
    $result = $this->pageFactory->create();
    $this->layerResolver->create('search');

    $collection = $this->layerResolver->get()->getProductCollection();
    $collection->('special_price', ['gt'=>0],'left');
    $collection
         ->addAttributeToFilter(
            'special_from_date',
            [
                'or' => [
                    0 => [
                        'date' => true,
                        'to' => $date->get('YYYY-MM-dd').' 23:59:59'],
                    1 => [
                        'is' => new \Zend_Db_Expr('null')
                    ],
                ]
            ],
            'left'
        )->addAttributeToFilter(
            'special_to_date',
            [
                'or' => [
                    0 => [
                        'date' => true,
                        'from' =>  $date->get('YYYY-MM-dd').' 00:00:00'],
                    1 => [
                        'is' => new \Zend_Db_Expr('null')
                    ],
                ]
            ],
            'left'
        );
    $list = $result->getLayout()->getBlock('custom.products.list');
    $list->setProductCollection($collection);
    return $result;
}

To avoid problems with aggregations and buckets I use this:

Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml

    public function getLoadedProductCollection()
    {
        return $this->_productCollection;
    }

    public function setProductCollection(AbstractCollection $collection)
    {
        $this->_productCollection = $collection;
    }
}

This will give you filtered collection on custompage via avaiable special price today. You will have attributes to filter but i still cant get category filter to work properly ( count number for products in collection and layered navigation doesnt match and not all categories are displayed ). If anyone can provide answer on how to make category filter to work with this or other solutions please help.

Most of this code i found here on stackexchange in questions with layered-navigation tag (believe me when i say i searched a lot).

Hope this will get you somewhere. :)
